Palo Alto County: a careful place to begin.
For a Palo Alto County farm, start with the public parcel record and a copy of the family’s current paperwork. The goal is to organize the review before anyone feels pressure to act.

County property resource
Find the record before drawing conclusions.
County assessor property-search portal for parcel and property-record research. The assessor portal is for public-record research and does not replace a deed, title search, survey, lease analysis, or rent benchmark.
Give open questions a visible place
Save the search reference with the access date, then list what still needs confirmation from another source. A visible question list keeps the family from filling gaps with assumptions.
Research support is not a conclusion
The assessor record can help locate property information, but it does not determine ownership, boundaries, legal obligations, lease terms, or cash rent.
Bring the unresolved questions to the family first, then decide whether a tenant conversation is timely.
